The Perfect Baked Potato

Total Time

Prep 5 mins

Simple to make and perfect for cold winter nights. Be sure to get nice big ones of even size so they all cook at the same time.
You can serve on their own as a snack, or with a nice salad. You can even just add cheese or serve with steak or chicken -the choice is yours!

Nice to have the classic method of baking potatoes! The only things I would add are that you can use butter, margarine or almost any oil; and the best way to check that they are done is to squeeze them. You can do this with your hand if you are fairly quick about it, even though they are very hot. The skin should feel well cooked and the flesh should give quite easily. But don't worry too much, as its quite hard to overbake a potato!
